We're approaching 400 members, so we can truly say "The Help & Advice You Need Is In This Room or One Connection Away!"

What’s Included in Your Fast Foundations Membership?

At Fast Foundations, we’re not teaching at you — we’re growing with you.

We work with you to reimagine and restructure your business in order to increase your income, sell more of your products or services, and craft your brand story in a matter of months. No mind-numbing lectures or cookie-cutter content allowed.

“Entrepreneurship can be lonely... but it doesn’t have to be”

The Fast Foundations Community is a network of entrepreneurs who want to grow together!

Fast Foundations was built to help entrepreneurs reach their next goal. Whether that’s your first $10,000 month, $100,000 month, or seven-figure year, we are here to support you.

To put it bluntly, Fast Foundations changed my life.

When you step outside your comfort zone and put yourself into rooms with like-minded entrepreneurs, magic happens.

To date, I have 10x my business revenue, went from being a solopreneur to building a team of five, built deep & meaningful relationships as a result of the community and have found the clarity in how I can best serve this World.

My advice? Get in the rooms.
Jackie Serviss
Founder, Serv Recruitment Agency
I was sick of playing small in my business.

I needed the mentorship, the network, the tools, and the confidence that was needed to take my business to the next level.

I had been an entrepreneur already for a couple years and I had tried to do it on my own and I quickly realized in order to level up, think bigger, play bigger, and scale my business, I needed to get in the rooms with the right people.

I got that 10-fold. Not only did my income triple during Covid as a result of the community, it landed me on my million dollar business idea.
Bridgette Boucha
CFO for Entrepreneurs
The Fast Foundations Mastermind was one of the best decisions I made for my business.

Everything about it felt like “next level”, the training, the people, the energy.

Attending the sessions was like stepping into next level Shana. There were so many great parts of the program, but I think the best was the relationships I created with the other members.

Years later I am still connected to a lot of the people. I learned so much about myself and business during Fast Foundations. It definitely created a quantum leap in my life and business.

I knew that getting in the Fast Foundations Mastermind would be the gasoline on the fire that I needed.

The mastermind members, and the guest speakers not only held me accountable, but they stretched me in ways I never could have imagined ... which of course resulted in me scaling my business beyond 7-figures.

The network, collaborations, big thinking, support, and love in that room is something I’ve taken with me over the years.

R.T. Custer & Jim Carter III

Back in 2019, we met in this same Fast Foundations Community at one of the Mastermind Retreat events. At the time, it was run by our friend and mentor, Chris Harder. The program helped us scale our businesses past seven figures and gain the confidence we needed to grow personally and professionally.

In February 2022, we did a big exciting thing and BOUGHT Fast Foundations from Chris. We had one dream… to make this the single best community for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and make their impact. 

Between the two of us, we’ve created three multiple seven-figure+ businesses in the fin-tech, luxury, marketing, and charitable spaces and are committed to teaching you what works… and, let’s be honest, what doesn’t.

We have both invested hundreds of thousands into expanding our networks and toward our own coaching, and we want to share this immersive program that drastically helped us achieve our goals with you!

It was through this mastermind I met not only some of my best friends and soul family but people who I have since built and scaled my multiple six-figure businesses with.

All other snacks, lunches, and one epic dinner experience are our treat to you per event!
